In a significant move, the Narendra Modi-led Government on July 9 lifted a decades-old ban on Government employees participating in the activities the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Sunil Ambekar, Akhil Bhartiya Prachar Pramukh of RSS on Government’s decision expressed his appreciation on the move, highlighting the RSS’s longstanding commitment to nation’s service.
“The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been continuously engaged in the reconstruction of the nation and the service of society for the past 99 years. Due to the RSS’s contributions in times of national security, unity-integrity, and natural disasters, the various types of leadership in the country have, from time to time, praised the role of the RSS,” said Sunil Ambekar.
Criticising the ban imposed by Congress, he stated, “Due to their political self-interests, the then-government unjustly prohibited government employees from participating in the activities of a constructive organisation like the RSS. The decision of the current Government is appropriate and will strengthen India’s democratic system.”
